Some colleges had many empty CSE seats, while others had only a few or none.
Bapuji Institute of Engineering and Technology had the most vacant CSE seats among the listed colleges.
Bengaluru had the largest concentration of vacant seats in the dataset.
The numbers may change because students were still completing fee payment and reporting to colleges.
Therefore, these figures are not necessarily the final number of unfilled seats.
A total of 16,855 engineering seats remained vacant after Round 4 allotments in Karnataka’s COMEDK UGET 2026 counselling.
Computer Science and Engineering had the most vacancies, with 4,411 seats, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering with 2,566.
